Mitigating two of the largest operating expenses facing commercial properties

Two of the largest operating expenses faced by commercial property owners include real estate property taxes and the energy costs associated with running a business. When these costs are too high, they can put you at a disadvantage to your competition. Conversely, when your tax and energy costs are professionally managed, you can be one step ahead of your competition. Peak 5 Advisors addresses these expenses head-on, to keep you operating efficiently and a competitive advantage over your competitors.

Mitigating these costs can be a daunting and time-consuming task for CFO’s and controllers whose primary focus is on handling the day-to-day issues of running a profitable business. Mitigating your taxable property value requires expertise in a wide array of subject matters, including understanding your tax assessment and valuation, exemptions, TIF’s, local county auditor/assessor, and the appraisal approaches necessary to arrive at an equitable valuation of your property.

Energy management requires the same amount of expertise in deregulated electricity and natural gas markets. Peak 5 Advisors is your trusted source to make sense of the complex energy supplier bidding process. We monitor the volatility of the energy markets and inform our clients of opportune times to hedge future energy expenditures to smooth out energy expenses and avoid unexpected rate hikes, thereby saving your company money on energy costs.
